Dancers Dancing

Dancers Dancing is continually working to develop a voice which reflects our contemporary environment. Formed in July 1999, Dancers Dancing is dedicated to bringing exciting dance to as many and as varied audiences as possible. Selected by Artistic Director, Judith Garay, the eclectic repertoire of the company exhibits technical excellence and offers the diverse artistic visions from a variety of distinguished choreographers. The repertoire currently speaks of the emotional intensity of love and loss, the magic of fantasy and the lightness of comedy while combining grace with raw physicality. Strong in passion, the works of Dancers Dancing can be experienced on a purely visceral level, as well as on an emotional, spiritual and/or intellectual level.

Dancers Dancing has received both critical and audience acclaim at home in Vancouver and on tour throughout British Columbia.
